About this Event
(Please note: This is a two-session workshop — Thursdays, Jan. 22 and Jan. 29, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. both evenings.)
It’s always the right time to learn to knit! Here’s why:
- It’s portable, so you can take it anywhere you need to stay busy.
- It’s satisfying. There are few things better than saying “I made it!” when some compliments your hat, shawl or sweater.
- It’s meditative. Once you learn how to do it, you’ll be surprised how calming it can be.
- It’s community-building. Everyone wants to chat when you’ve got needles in your hand.
Join Becky Sher, co-owner of Locally Crafted Workshop and a knitter for more than two decades, to learn the basics of the craft in two sessions. (There might be a tiny bit of homework between sessions, but it’s the fun kind!) Whether you’re an absolute beginner or refreshing your skills, you’ll leave ready to tackle your first project (in a future workshop with us, of course!). You’ll learn:
- The basics of choosing yarn and needles for a project
- How to cast on stitches to begin knitting
- How to perform the basic knit and purl stitches
- How to increase and decrease to add shaping to a project
- How to cast off when you’re finished a project
Workshop includes your own pair of circular knitting needles to take home and yarn for practice. Please bring your favorite tote bag, because it's now your knitting bag. ;)
This workshop is open to crafters ages 14 and older.
